An Exciting Day at louisville.

Several attempts were made by large
mob at Louisville, Ky, Last night to break
into the Jail and lynch the colored men
Turner and Patterson, who murderously as
saulted Jennie Bowman, white domestic
10 3 house they were robbing, and several
companies of militia were sent to assist the
police in guarding the Jail.
Late yesterday afternoon the mayor
issued proclamation declaring that he
would preserve order nj any cost. In re-
Spouse to a notice which had been distrib-
uted about 500 men gathered in front OF
Leiderkranz Hall. DR.. Berry, well-known
physician OF the city, mounted barrel on
the sidewalk and addressed them. be said
that since the brutal crime of Patterson and
Turner none of the women and children felt
any security, and that while he generally
was opposed to mob law, there was nothing
to be done in this case but TO lynch the
negro fends. While the doctor was speak.
ing Major Kinney, q leading criminal law
yer, passed through the crowd. A number
of men surrounding him, demanded in an
excited manner why he defended men
whom be knew to be criminals. The
Major commenced to explain and expostu-
late, and breathed sigh of relief when he
slipped out of the throng.
Despite the mayors proclamation the
squares about the Jail last night were dense
y packed with men. Two companies of
militia waited in readiness for the order to
march at any moment from the armory,
five or six squares away. On Market street
q crowd OF about 100 men were marching up
and down. each with about foot of white
cotton rope tied to the arm.
After midnight the crowds about the court
honse dwindled down to three or four hun
dred people, and these dispersed gradually.
Five hundred soldiers and policemen with
gattling gun stood guard at the Jail. The
meeting appointed for to-day will not be
allowed and it is probable the law will be
permitted to take its course.

secreted himself in stable, but was found
by the police and arrested. He acknowl
edged his guilt and was taken to Frankfort,
the authorities fearing that he would be
lynched. Turner subsequently made con-
fession duplicating another negro, named
Bill Patterson and he was also taken toFrank-
fort to escape the mob. Turner made a confess

bondholders, and the joint legislative com
mittee held their first meeting in Richmond
yesterday The meeting was secret, as all
others are designed to be, unless the Legis-
lature shall adopt resolution to the con.
trary. 1t is reported that the members of
the legislative committee asked the repre-
sentaives of the bondholders how much OF
the debt could they authoritatively speak
for in the negotiations. This provoked con-
siderable good tempered discussion, ir which
Mr. Braithwaite, Lieut.-Gov Massey,
Speaker Stuart and General Wickham took
part. The answer given 10 the inquiry was
not positive, but more definite answer was
promised in writing on Monday. II is
stated that Sir Edward Thornton and his
associates control, or expect to control, all
of the tax receivable bonds Of the State, but
this claim is dependent upon negotiations
now going on with holders in this country.

tee said Until this meeting had strong
hopes that this conference would accomplish
great good. Now feel like man who ex
rected big legacy and got none." During
the talk 10 the conference room some of the
members of the committee ntmated that
